Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

So many people today wonder why God would judge us and why He can't just forgive us. It all seems so unfair to them. Pastor Josh discusses the need to focus on the cross in order to find where love and mercy meet, and where justice and truth triumph.

If you are being persecuted for being a child of the promise, it is a telling identity marker that you are His. Who are you really? Are you defined by your parents, where you live, your gender, or by your relationship with Christ?
September 27, 2019
Paul is launching identity markers for the Galatian church. He's calling them to put their identity in the Bible story–Abraham, Isaac, Christ–rather than in a religiosity, Pharisaic, legalistic identity. Do you identify yourself with God's grace-filled people?
